How big is your monitor(s) and how many do you have running on your main PC?

I have our home business/music/email computer and our gaming box running into a 20" Samsung 1600x1200. My DI/video rig is into a 19" Sony and my son's game box runs a BenQ 19". Our old P3 Compaq runs a Micron 20" CRT which is still going strong.
 
wait, you put your monitor on a subwoofer? lolololololol! youre just missing the electromagnet right by your hard drive, then your computer will enter into warp speed. come on. and water cool your keyboard, you'll type faster.
 
i was thinking the same thing. i didn't say anything 'cause i <thought> this guy was probably intelligent enough to put on a shielded subwoofer.

i see the err of my ways now though.
 
Currently a 22" NEC CRT, 17" Planar flat panel and 17" V7 flat panel (Crap), that's on my main machine, got a couple viewsonic 17" flats and 19" crts and a few dell 17" trinitrons on servers and such.

i got a 22" Mitsubishi Diamond PRO, i just love the quality and brightness, way better than monitor / or flat that i've seen so far up close in a store.
The only bad thing is, the damn heat coming out of the beast LOL

I noticed that as well, but for some reason I just assumed that he probably has a cheap Dell rig with an LCD, in which case the magnetic field shouldn't make much difference anyway. If he has a CRT though, then that is just begging for trouble.

In any case, I still don't understand not having the subwoofer under the desk. :?
 
ive got a dell ultrascan p991, its a 19" crt. it uses the wega tube.. i like it.. tho its getting older, it still has a beautiful pic.
 
Not sure how this relates to thee CPU forum, but anyway...

Viewsonic VP191b - and loving it.

I really want 2* VP930b, but can't find any in Australia that will ship new and less than $AU700. :cry:
 
21" ViewSonic CRT & 19" Sony LCD

The ViewSonic monitor has an "UltraBrite Mode" wich basically just kicks up the brightness and contrast a bit, really nice for gaming and movie watching.
 
I have my 20.1" Dell 2001FP (1600x1200, DVI) and a 19" Dell E193FP (1280x1024, RGB, I am safekeeping it for somebody who's away) attached to a little GeForce 6200TC and in a wonderful TwinView/Xinerama spanned desktop mode. The two different resolutions and dot pitches is a little funky, but it is a lot better than just the 2001FP alone.

2 *identical* spanned monitors of 17-20" will yield more screen real estate than a 30" model and be a BUNCH cheaper. I'd suggest going the dual-head route.
 
I'm also looking into getting one of those 24inch widescreen dells. That'd be so focking sweet.

Dood, do it...they ARE nice...I was thinking maybe I shouldn't have bought it, but after sitting at computers with 19" crap LCD screens I was praising my Dell 2405FPW 1920x1200.
 
1. Dell 2405FPW (no dead or stuck pixels)
2. 17" NEC short tube CRT (7 years and 6 months old and still working)
3. 14" Sony CRT (16 years old and still working)


Also had:
1. Dell 2000FP (no dead or stuck pixels)
 
I got 2 hooked up in my entertainment unit... a 32" Widescreen Toshiba 32HL85 LCD T.V. hooked up to my media center via DVI cable running at 1080i. A 19" flatscreen beside it so I can still watch T.V. or have messenger running while playing games on the big screen 😀
